The Crafted Kup is a coffee shop in Poughkeepsie, New York. It is listed at 44 Raymond Ave, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603, which places it among the local businesses of Poughkeepsie that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as breakfast restaurant, cafe, espresso bar, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 7 am–5 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (845) 483-7070. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is thecraftedkup.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
